no, you are not lost, anyone(even females) are more than welcome here. as long as you love that "ford" name you will fit right in. although i own a 2001 s.d. my specialty is 73-79 trucks,but there are many people around here that might be able to help you out. so what are you looking to do next to that ride? lift? tires? boltons? i deal with a couple places around cleveland on to akron so i might be able to hook you up with some good deals. good to have you aboard

Welcome to the group. You can get all kinds of things that will fit your truck. Best thing that I can tell ya is to go to the accessories shops, and get one of their catalogs. That way you can look through and see what appeals to you. You already have a good looking truck, now you just need to add your personal touches. As far as engine mods go, you can do some yourself. You could install a K&N air filter, which is just a matter of taking the old one out and sliding a new one in. It will help your truck breath easier, which may help your gas milage some. Power chips are easy to put in, but costly. You could get a grill/brush guard for the front. You may want to get some driving lights, and headlight/taillight covers. Looks like you already have nerf bars and a bug guard. Also, if you know anybody who works at an autobody shop, they maybe able to recommend someone who does custom pinstripes and stuff like that. A lot of it costs less than you think when you actually check on it. Good luck with your truck, and let us know if we can help ya with anything.
